While perusing Filby's "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1996
Supplement", I came across my ancestor, Johann Conrad Schlupp. He was
listed as follows :

		Schlupp, Conrad; Charleston, SC 1775-1781

I wrote the Burton Historical Collection at the Detroit Public Library
citing the original sources quoted in Filby and was sent the following
information :

		Conrad Schlupp was a member of the German Fusulier 
		         Company of Charleston, SC

I have researched the libraries of Charleston, SC seeking information on
this society and have come across very little. There is a book, "History
of the German Fusiliers of Charleston, SC 1775-1892, and the Story of
the Visit of the Veteran Zouvers of Elizabethport, NJ", which sheds some
light on the subject, but I would like to find out more. Can Anyone
help? Also, was "Pioniere Verein" a German Society of Charleston?
